Breaking news: Pseudo-Skeptic Injured During Self-Congratulations

The LGF News Desk has just learned that an extremist member of the anti-science blogosphere has experienced a possibly career ending physical injury to his typing arm. Marc Morano, a pundit unknown in science circles but highly regarded in the pseudo-skeptic world, dislocated his shoulder during a severe bout of Dunning-Kruger, apparently while trying to simultaneously pat himself on the butt and give himself a high-five. Tragically, while not life threatening, the injury may prevent him from authoring new blog articles.

According to inside sources, Morano recently took part in a climate debate where his innate ability to yell and his professional sophistry gave his arguments more time than they deserved. When called on his dishonesty by several science and informational sources, including the LGF News Desk, Morano, long suffering from severe Dunning-Kruger Effect, mistakenly concluded he was being congratulated on his fine work.

Response 1

Sadly, as can be seen by this first example containing the cherry picked context twisted snippet from LGF, it becomes obvious why Morano may have felt proud of his accomplishment. However, if we include the last sentence of the paragraph the snippet was taken from, we see that his conclusion is drastically wrong. Original Article.

Morano threw too many talking points for Bill to field effectively and as is common when a scientist goes up against a professional PR hack, he looked outclassed and flustered. I suspect Bill simply wasn’t prepared for the volume and blatant dishonesty.

It only gets worse for Morano from there. We can only wonder why those around him allowed him to act on such poor conclusions.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is known to affect many in the pseudo-skeptic community, but injuries as severe as that suffered by Morano are thankfully mostly restricted to members heavily involved in the delusional anti-science propaganda arm of the US right wing.

In an LGF exclusive, the News Desk was able to interview two witnesses passing by Morano’s building during the time of the accident.

LGF: “You were both walking by when the accident happened. Is that correct?”

Witness 1: “What?”
Witness 2: “Yah, I was just texting my girlfriend about last night.”

LGF: “In your own words, can you describe what you heard?”

Witness 1: “Oh man, it was horrible, the screams were nasty dude.”
Witness 2: “First I heard some crazy laughing, then a loud pop…”

Witness 1: “Whoa, That pop was loud, man.”
Witness 2: “… then the screaming started. It just wouldn’t…”

Witness 2: “I’m going to have bad dreams tonight, that’s for sure. I can still hear the screaming.”
Witness 1: “I’m gonna go home to a couple of spliffs and a twinkie, bro. No way I’m remember this shit.”

We at the LGF News Desk wish Morano a speedy recovery and pray he is able to return to blogging soon. Good luck Marc. We’re pulling for you.

Some time in the 1980s when I was on a visit to the United States, a television station wanted to stage a debate between me and a prominent creationist called, I think, Duane P Gish. I telephoned Stephen Gould for advice. He was friendly and decisive: "Don't do it." The point is not, he said, whether or not you would 'win' the debate. Winning is not what the creationists realistically aspire to. For them, it is sufficient that the debate happens at all. They need the publicity. We don't. To the gullible public which is their natural constituency, it is enough that their man is seen sharing a platform with a real scientist. "There must be something in creationism, or Dr So-and-So would not have agreed to debate it on equal terms." Inevitably, when you turn down the invitation you will be accused of cowardice, or of inability to defend your own beliefs. But that is better than supplying the creationists with what they crave: the oxygen of respectability in the world of real science.

A probable Morano supporter devastates the warmist conspiracy...lets see the "scientists" of the warming conspiracy refute this evidence!

Liberalism's Iraq War of fear and lies and climate WMD's:
Belief is faith, reason is knowledge and Liberals have made us all fear mongering omen worshippers for the history books. "I see the changes……"
Climate Blame wasn't science, it was a liberal virtue, and a tragic exaggeration and George Bush laughed as we fear mongered billions of helpless children to the greenhouse gas ovens for 26 years of needless CO2 panic. Nice job girls.
For a quarter of a century the lab coats said we could be at the point of no return from a crisis that they never said "WILL" or "would" happen, only "might" happen. NOT ONE single IPCC warning was without maybes. Prove me wrong! Help my house could be on fire maybe?
Undeniable proof of science's exaggeration is the fact that the millions in the global scientific community sit on their hands and watch dozens of climate change protesters worldwide. Some crisis eh?
*Occupywallstreet does not even mention CO2 in its list of demands because of the bank-funded carbon trading stock markets ruled by corporations and trustworthy politicians
*Canada killed Y2Kyoto with a freely elected climate change denying prime minister and nobody cared, especially the millions of scientists warning us of unstoppable warming (a comet hit).ding stock markets run by corporations.
*Obama has not mentioned the crisis in the last two State of the Unions addresses.
*In all of the debates Obama hadn't planned to mention climate change once.
To you remaining fear mongers; none of you spineless climate cowards would still be shooting your mouths off like this still if there were real legal consequences in a real civilized society for issuing your CO2 death threats from your Reefer Madness of climate blame.
A crisis that isn't a crisis isn't a crisis and save the little catastrophic climate crisis for your Harry Potter movies at the next lib convention.
